WEBINAR-NPCA: Market Opportunity: Precast Concrete Lift Stations

LEARNING OBJECTIVES: Attendees will learn about challenges and requirements to furnish precast concrete lift stations to meet and exceed engineer and contractor expectations

OVERVIEW: Precast concrete lift station structures are typically furnished by the precast industry which also produces precast concrete manholes. However, lift stations are very unique when compared to standard manhole applications. Lift stations typically are installed in a more severe condition than manholes with respect to size, depth of installation and water table pressures, subject to watertight conditions of infiltration and exfiltration, and have the potential of highly corrosive effluent conditions. Additionally, lift stations contain complex mechanical devices of pumps, internal piping, and electronic local or remote control panels for operation. Precast concrete structures both in circular and rectangular shapes have proven to be the best solution to meet the construction and design challenges.
